As I've said at least twice before, doing this forces a degraded mode of operation, on modern *n[iu]x systems in which the effect clock frequency is switched between zero correction and 500ppm correction on a 1 second cycle (I think it is one second for V4, it was 4 seconds for V3), rather than being fine tuned on every clock tick.
Whilst this mode will continue to correct whilst ntpd is running without servers, it will not continue when it is stopped, so ntpd restarts will result in the clock running uncorrected until the restart is complete. Turning off stepping completely also triggers this mode. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
